[Addon] Jamba - An assistant for multiboxers. Old Thread

[Jafula]

I also noticed that the Jamba leader wasn't actually being auto-promoted to group leader any more, like it was in 0.2 - is that a change to be expected or perhaps an option I missed somewhere in the config?

I had the same problem again last night, this time using 0.3b. Perhaps the following account will be useful.

Thanks for that account. I actually noticed the same thing briefly the other day. I'll go investigate, it's bizarre that it stops working for some reason.

I found another thing that isn't a bug, but I wanted to know if there was a way to turn off it's messages.

Here's the situation: last night I modified my setup to use the command to switch the master combined to my key to change screens (pip in keyclone). that way when i make toon no3 my main screen, he becomes the master and party leader. I added a keybind to the set focus and that works great, so far so good.

Now, everytime I change screens, I'll get a message in my chat window from each new slave saying that the master has changed and to press my keybind to reset the focus properly. I understand it's use, but is there a way to turn off those messages? Or maybe just make it a single message in the middle of the screen similar to when a slave breaks follow or gets attacked? It's minor, and great the first few times, but once you get used to always hitting your keybind for resetting the focus, those messages feel unecessary.

Thanks!

I added this option into 0.3 for you. To stop the messages, go into the /jamba interface, select the "Switch" tab and uncheck the "Display Switch Message On Focus/Target Update" option, and click the "Push To Characters" button.

I've been reading your Jamba site (nicely done! well documented) but have a little question on a comment on this page: http://wow.jafula.com/addons/jamba/jamba-core

For both options on changing master, it says "Note: This option is PVE only and you should use it only if you do not frequently change masters."

Does this mean there is no PvP prefered option? (I am currently using a focusless, leaderless system using keyclone's hotstring abilities and the use of various modifiers)

1. Queue the editing of the macro if you are in combat to occur when you leave combat. I dont know if this would keep it secure or not, but itd be a nice addition.

The queuing would require me to write more code (and have to think about and manage queues), so yes nice addition. I figured if it fails, you can just press the key again when you get out of combat...

Nevermind 2/3, I see why you did it the way you did it now, since you can [target = targettarget] or whatever>.<.
I was making life harder on myself.

You do not want an assist keybind now? Assist is what melee toons would use (I imagine), so it could be useful.

Id still want it, as it would shrink my macro size tremendously([target=targettarget] on every /cast or whatever in a macro is a bit more than /click assist or whatever you name the button).
I just seem to have misunderstood why you had it target only(though, Im playing 2 hunters and need to keep my autoshot on a target and my focus on another target, so assist is good)

Addons cannot change macros in combat. Jamba uses macro to /target master and /focus master. Therefore if you PVP and switch masters a lot; Jamba isn't going to update its these macros while you are in combat, making them essentially useless.

Personally I don't PVP, but I set my master as focus and just use /target focus or /cast [target=focustarget] for my macros. So I don't actually use either of those two options anyway.

How you want to run with your team is up to you. I've tried to make Jamba be flexible and not dictate how you should do things. After all Jamba is an assistant.

I'll add an assist option in for you. I had target only, because that's what I built for myself (Jamba primarily is built for my use). I don't use /assist (but I might soon, as the new patch makes me want to try my Shamans as melee). Jamba now grows as I want things and as you (the community) request things.

There is a big old backlog of requests though and some small bugs piling up as well as the documentation I need to complete, so plenty of work on.

Thanx a lot for this awesome mod! Keep up the good work!

Ditto.

It's a huge help. I'm glad you shared
